FORGET-ME-NOT

Disclaimer: Must I do this for every chapter? I don't own Nehima's and Arrenil's, and, yes, even Patar's name.

Reviews: Thanks once again to all my wonderful reviewers:

Yokai Cesia and Chi: thank you! I will check your story out!

AngelicBoundaries: As above, thanks!!! I'll try to put some more cliffies in!

Chapter Three

Nehima was baptized into the Charter, but her first friend, Dianna, intrigued her when she admitted to being a Free Magic sorcerer. After that, Nehima worked long and hard to sever her connection to the Charter, and then to recreate her new identity as a necromancer and Free Magic sorcerer. By then her father realized that her baptismal Charter mark was gone. His worst fears were confirmed when Charter stone after Charter stone was broken. So now he was riding along a royal road to the Clayr's Glacier so he could discover if it was possible to turn Nehima back to the Charter. Three days after starting out from his house, he arrived at the Glacier, noting the Charter marks of protection woven into the ice. After he had breakfasted, a Clayr came up to him.

"You wish for us to See your daughter?" she asked.

"Yes," the father replied. "Her name is Nehima, and she is currently within my house."

Very well, Patar," said the Clayr. "We shall do as you ask."

A woman was walking through Belisaere. She didn't seem as relaxed as she should be, and it appeared that she was looking for someone. As she passed the chicken stall in the marketplace, a man said to her, "Hello, Nehima! What did you come here for?"

Nehima said, "I travel on urgent business for the Charter. My father would have come, but he is currently sailing down the Ratterlin for a baptism at High Bridge."

The Clayr shook herself from the vision, frowning. Patar had said that his daughter was staying in his house near the Sindlewood, but in her vision she was walking through the streets of Belisaere. And what was this 'urgent business' that she was taking care of?

A/N: Patar is the name of the fisherman who had a Mordaut riding on his back. I am just totally hopeless when it comes to making up names, that's all!
